Thanks for this great addon. Have a problem though. I am using this on a Windows 7 machine and am able to record an IPTV stream if I choose the "Record Once" option. It doesn't seem to record though if I choose a show to record always. Is there a setting or something I may be missing? Should I be able to record always. I see where the IPTV recorder creates the JSON file for each show it should record, but it doesn't seem to work under this option.

It still works for me on Win7 Leia.
Is there an ERROR message in kodi.log?
Have a look in the jobs folder and see if everything looks ok in the .py files.

You can post or pm me one if it has sensitive urls in it (passwords etc).

I installed it from the Repo.. it opens.. I went into settings and set my record folder and path to ffmpeg..

But I don't see in simple PVR how to pick a program to record.. and if I launch the IPTV Recorder add-on, I don't see how to surf to a stream to record in the future.. or at all.

I haven't made any videos.
The quickstart on the first post should be enough.

This addon doesn't integrate with the IPTV Simple Client PVR gui at all.
It just uses the xmltv and m3u links from IPTV Simple Client for the programmes and channel streams data.

Can you play channels and see programs in the normal Kodi PVR using IPTV Simple Client?
If you can then just restart Kodi and wait for the xmltv/m3u to be loaded into IPTV Recorder.
There is a default wait of 60 seconds in case IPTV Simple Client gets its data from a download from another addon.
The setting is in Settings\Service.

If that works check there are channels in Channel Groups and you can play a channel from the context menu.
If that works try Record Once.
Make sure the ffmpeg path is a full path and the recordings folder is writeable.

So I nuked it, 2 times, still having problems. I did get it to record one show using the "record all" selection, but it only recorded one show and there were two back to back. Could it be my before/after buffer times of 10 minutes? I am allowed 5 simultaneous connections and was only using using 2 at the time. Anyway...after the 2nd nuke, I tried adding some shows using "record all". Was able to select 2 and have the red "RECORD" label added to all of the episodes selected, however after the first two, the script wouldn't let me add any more. I have changed my before/after buffer to 1 minute. The log is attached: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XzMvBcDmDP/

What was the first type of recording you tried: Record Always or Record Daily?
Did you update to version 0.0.79?
You need to give it time to load after a restart too.
There is a "database is locked" error message in there.

I believe that I only used "Always Record". Could have chosen the other one by mistake. Yes I am on 0.0.79

Will try again tomorrow, but it just isn't working. I don't know what the "database is locked" message is about. Does that have to do with something other than the IPTV Recorder?

By "give it time to load after a restart", do you mean the 60 seconds it takes to start loading the xml/3mu data or something else? How much time should be given?
